Description: | Napoleon Bonaparte is the most famous and most talked about general in world history, an icon of military leadership that still lives today. The concordat with the Pope and his administrative, military, educational and legal reforms had a decisive impact on the development of French society. France controlled most of continental Europe. He crowned himself emperor in 1804. His string of successes was broken by the invasion of Russia. The Allied armies then invaded France and forced Napoleon to abdicate. After his exile on the island of Elba, he seized power for 100 days, but so that he could never return, the great powers exiled him forever to the island of St. Helena. The gold coin of the Italian 20 lire is a real numismatic rarity. Original coin: Face value: 20 lira Diameter: 21 mm Weight: 6.45 g Material: gold (Au. 900) Museum Gallery |
